Where's the mintmark? Is this a Henning nickel?

Yes, a "Henning" 1944 no-P, the die pair without the looped R.

Neat find. A counterfeit that is welcome and looked for...
I see the mint mark missing, but I thought the 44 Henning Nickel had a hole in the leg of the R in PLURIBUS? Or was that just some of the 44's and not all?
